Zoos


Question Posted Tuesday April 10 2007, 9:37 am

I have recently read the book, Lord of the Kill. In it, it stated that zoo's are not all good and nice as they may seem. Have you ever wondered, as you stared into the cages of the baby animals, "well, where are the older ones?" I bet you haven't. If you go to this website and read the first three paragraphs [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) , that will explain where those old animals went to. I'm telling you this because I want the public to be informed about it. Also, I've been thinking about trying to start a sanctuary for the old animals, so they dont get dumped into hunting yards or anything. What do you guys think?

Yes, there are plenty of zoos scattered across the country [and the world] that have poor conditions and do some unthinkable things to the elder animals because they aren't "cute" anymore. But there are also plenty of zoos that are great sanctuaries for animals of all ages.

I think it'd be great for you to start a sanctuary if you feel that one is needed, it would take so much work and regulation but you'd be standing up for your beliefs, people would respect that.

And by the way, the ALF [the website you gave] is an incredibly extreme activist group, even worse than PETA in terms of how extreme they are, a lot of the members are considered terrorists by the US. So sure, the info they give is applicable, but also very biased.

I see animals of all ages at the Zoo when I go, so like the first girl said, I don't know what zoo you're going to.

Why would a zoo dump an animal onto the side of an interstate? Do you know how damn retarded that sounds? "Yeah, we don't need this animal anymore, so let's just put this WILD animal here on the interstate & hope it makes it's way into the wild."

No. They either put the animal to sleep, set it into the wild, or give it to another zoo.

What a retarded book you read.

**I asked this question. I'm responding to ^^ answer.

They can't though. Because these animals were born and raised in captivity. They wouldn't survive in the wild. The zoo's do do this, it's their disgusting, well hidden secret.

Well I don't know where you go to the zoo, but I always remembered seeing all different ages. They wouldn't dump animals on the side of an interstate just because they are old. If they didn't have room for them or something like that, they would probably put them back into the wild.
